*grin* all gone now! I 'm going to try the chocolate mint cake mentioned earlier next.

 

[PuppetWitch]

It's nice texture- wise but not minty enough. I used WW mint choc powder but will add mint essence next time. Yum yum fun experiments!

I'm unsure about quark icing for a mint cake though- should it be minty too? I made a tester spoonful up and it was like toothpaste so just used chocolate essence. Maybe if I coloured it green?

 

[Texty_F]

I dont like quark - I use total yogurt and add a tiny amount of essence to that too, it is very minty but I dont mind it lol. You could add a little green food colouring if you wanted to x

 

[PuppetWitch]

I'll give it a go then- thank you. Although I'm going for chocolate orange next! Mmmmmmm

Did you use a yoghurt with it when you made the orange one? x

 

[Texty_F]

Chocolate cake for lunch today. I whisked the whites this time and it made the cake much lighter. Yum yum all gone

Made a carrot one today didn't put any yoghurt in, was moist enough but not sweet enough think I under estimated the effect of the yoghurt on the sweetness, carrot was grated but raw, not sure if I need to make it finer or cook it a bit first as is still noticeable in the cake. Going to make some coffee and have some more now tho. Also too much all spice I think needed more cinnamon but I ran out! Definite potential tho!

Hello, I too made carrot cake but baked it in the oven, no yogurt in it and just did one grated carrot. It was gorgeous I used 3tbsp mincemeat and sweetener instead of honey, it took nearly 40 mins to bake but was well worth it. Xxx

 

[jamjar15]

Mmmmm that looks gorgeous x

Ah didn't see a recipe, not a huge mincemeat fan not sure if I'd like it! Will try again. What did you top it with? I was thinking of quark and sweetener but wasn't sure xx

 

[Cookie21]

Thank you mrs, its my favourite so far.

I used 1/3 tub of quark with sweetener, I meant to buy a white chocolate options but I forgot to but the sweetener made it taste good. I've got one slice left for work tomorrow mmm xx

 

[Belletabbycat]

I ate all mine today will try that next time, also only cooked it for about 25 mins might need longer. Did whip egg whites which improved consistency I think. Got a cherry bakewell one for tomorro xx
